Staying afloat in Mr. Chute's Design class

This will turn out to be one of the winning boats!

This one will sink immediately!

This boat will win the grand championship with its keel design.
This one will sink trying!

Custom-built paddles

Mr. Chute explains how the "heats" will work. ... and
reminds the students of boating safety.

This boat is the smallest one.

Notice this boat was designed to go forward or backward with equal
ease.

And they're off!

Way out in front after 5 seconds.

The other two boats sank before they got started.

Let's turn it into a submarine!

A submarine!

Ta-dah! .... the winner!

This lifeguard job is the greatest! Sure beats the seniors' exercise
class!

Heat 2 is ready to go. This boat will morph into several types
because this team refuses to admit defeat.

Another winning design ... and decorative too with that tail fin!

Note the paddles

Andrew and Jack's pontoons are about to collapse under Jack's
wait.
It was a great design but needed a lightweight to paddle it.

Another successful launch

Way out in front!

Each boat had to race for 4 lengths of the pool.

The team that refused to die ... the coach encourages the paddler.
